THE government has denied that its deportation flight to Jamaica on Wednesday is discriminatory.
The Home Office is pushing ahead with the flight, which could see up to 50 men deported — including the fathers of young children — despite mounting calls for its cancellation.
Ministers claim that all those due to be on the flight have been convicted of serious crimes, including rape and murder.
